Hello,
I would like to develop a client-side application that:
* tests web forms (fill-in forms)
o this test feature of the application would fill in a
web form with random data and submit the data,
recording whether or not the submission was
successful;
* tests chat features
o this test feature of the application would attempt to
open a chat feature on a webpage, for example, a
chat feature on the customer support section of a
website. Once a response is received, the
component of this client-side application would
disconnect, logging the results;
* monitors web links
o this feature of the application would monitor all the
links on the site and return results of any pages
that were changed;
* scans a site for spelling mistakes;
* tests e-mail addresses
o ensures that mailto links launch an e-mail client and
populate the "to" field with a properly formed e-
mail address;
* scans a site for specific keywords, which would be entered via a
form in said application;
* scans a site for image file formats, recording the links of said
image files.
First, I would like to know if C++ can do all this; or if there is
another language that would be able to do all this that is less
complicated, but capable of client-side operation.
Also, I'm an extremely stubborn person, so please don't waste your
time or bits trying to convince me that this is not a task to be taken
by a C++ novice, which I most certainly am. (I'm sure you can work
arrogance in there as a reson why I think I can do this;basically,
humor me.)
If C++ can accomplish such things, please recommend a text to help me
get started.
Thanks,
Fäffy
